Chapter 37 Thirty-seventh chapter on the dangers of the world

Hongzhou and Yin Jishan walked one foot forward and one foot behind. He suddenly stopped when he heard Yin Jishan's words, but he soon came to his senses and said with a smile; "The slave master has a proper topic for joking, this is a national event! Fu You, Yin Yuanchang, may not be so calm when you are assassinated in Heng's case." "It was really assassinated, but Fu Heng was not injured." Yin Jishan said, "It was the refugees from Seleben, Jinchuan tribe. The assassin was captured and released." Hong Zhou was even more surprised, tilting his head and said , "This is really confusing, Fu Heng, this weird guy - let's go, talk in Ji Yun's room!"

Last night, Ji Yun interviewed people from book collection bureaus in several provinces and stayed up until the cock crowed before sleeping in his clothes. It was his usual style for Yan to wake up late.Hong Zhou and Yin Jishan came in, saw Liu Yong was already sitting solemnly waiting outside, and Ji Yun inside was still snoring like thunder, they couldn't help laughing.Yin Jishan said: "This is Prince He, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to An? — This is Liu Yanqing's son Liu Yong. The ticket has been issued. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is walking, the military plane is Zhang Jing, and the title of Yushi is on the right." Liu Yong Then he was busy saluting.

"That's all! What kind of courtesy do busy people give to idlers?" Hong Zhou was all smiles, and hit Liu Yong's head with the handle of his fan, saying, "I don't need to introduce him, I know he is Liu Tongxun's son, he was carved out of Liu Tongxun's mold." Yes, nothing out of shape—let me take a look at Ji Dayan’s smoking pot.” As he spoke, he picked up the curtain and went into the inner room, twisted Ji Yun’s ears and said, “Get up! His mother is snoring without looking at the time. Just care about the corpse!" Ji Yun was woken up by twisting his ears while he was in a dream, and was about to lose his temper, when he saw Hong Zhou standing in front of the bed smiling, he was afraid that his eyes would be dazzled, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up abruptly, and smiled Greetings on the ground, he said: "My family brought their son to see me, and they were playing with him, and the prince woke me up. It's really not the right time for you to come... Please clean up the dust outside, I wash my face come out."

Hong Zhou came out with a smile, and didn't choose the main and guest seats, but sat carelessly in the bright place against the west wall.Asked Liu Yong: "What medicine does Yanqing take on fair day? Ask him and he refuses to tell, for fear that I will reward you. Tell me." Liu Yong felt restrained at first, but when he saw that he was loose and easy-going, he relaxed a little. Because he asked about his father, Get up quickly and reply: "Usually it's just Chuanbei, Borneolum, and Requiem Pills. For emergency use the Suhexiang wine given by the emperor. Take a sip and the heartbeat will slow down." Hongzhou ordered him to sit down, and said: " Here is the genius doctor Ye Tianshi, last night I was dizzy and my heart was pounding, and I was fine with just one injection—I will invite Haosheng to show him later. None of the imperial doctors can match him, I will take him back to Beijing and ask him to preside over the Imperial Hospital! He asked again: "Are you going to return to Ji Yun's place so early?"

"I asked him to come here." Ji Yun came out wiping his face with hair force, and said with a smile: "I checked the books and found out a big case! There is an old gentleman: the jade certificate of Emperor Chongzhen is hidden in the house, and the officials are brought to the mansion His original surname is Zhu, not Zhang, and there are several inverse letters from Fujian, saying that the eldest son of the third prince Zhu is now in Luzon, and he has gathered 100,000 troops to fight back to find the third prince and restore the Ming Dynasty. Shake it out This case is ten times bigger than Yi Ying's! So I asked Liu Yong to check it out."

Yin Jishan couldn't help being shocked. Since the eighth year of Kangxi, the "Third Prince Zhu" has appeared and disappeared like a ghost in a nightmare, and has become a heart disease for the emperors of all dynasties.In his opinion: This is not even an ordinary dream talk, but when Kangxi and Yongzheng went to Qianlong, hearing the "Third Prince Zhu" was like meeting a ghost in the middle of the night. , Now Nishu has found out another Mr. Zhang, this man is finished again.Just as he was thinking, Hong Zhou said: "I figured it out, at least I have captured four third princes of Zhu. The seventeenth year of Shunzhi, the sixty-first year of Kangxi, and the thirteenth year of Yongzheng. The third prince of Zhu lived more than a hundred years ago. The grandson is old, and the grandson is also old—play it, and see what the emperor decides, this is a taboo of the court."

"Why did the prince and Yuan Chang come together?" Ji Yun didn't want to follow the topic, and served tea one by one with a smile, "You must have something important to see the master when you come to Nanjing." She clapped her hands and said casually, "I'll send that Duoyun—the wife of Sha Luoben to Chaotianzi. It's frosty in Beijing, but here in the south of the Yangtze River, it's still beautiful, and the heights are too cold, and I want to come here to be warm. Easy to write, I want to tell the emperor face to face: "Ji Yun smiled and said: "That must be an important thing, don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly people!"

Hong Zhou told about Duo Yun's robbery in Zhaohui's mansion because Duo Yun failed to win the auction in Beijing, but he didn't mention the situation of Wei Jia's moving to the palace.Yin Jishan knew very well that this incident was not enough to alarm the prince to come to Jinling in person, so he also explained in detail how Fu Heng was suddenly assassinated when he abandoned the boat and went ashore.Hong Zhou laughed and said, "It's even more difficult for her to make trouble with a cloud. It's the same as Mr. Zhang's matter. It has nothing to do with the relationship. It's true that there are dead ghosts in every temple!"

"It's getting late, let's go to Mochou Lake together." Ji Yun took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said to Liu Tang: "The case of Mr. Zhang's jade plate cannot be ignored. We must find out whether his original surname is Zhu. Last name, is it the third prince Zhu who is fake? According to your last interrogation, it seems that there is no such thing as forming a party and gathering people secretly. The neighbors also said that he is peaceful on weekdays, so I don’t think it should be treated as an adversary. Have a peaceful spirit, the smaller the momentum of the investigation, the better, don't be full of government servants and soldiers who are good at attacking the camp. Too many people are involved, and the subordinates are so happy that they only want to buy good things, which is not good for the political situation. You are a big official, You must see the big picture, don't stick to the details of the case, Huang Tianba and the others are eager to get promoted, don't put all your energy on it, the Qing Gang, the Salt Gang, the Cao Gang, the Jianghu Gang, and the gangsters maintain the court openly, and blind Wu is a guard, so he can't take care of it Come, let them have a meeting together, and Huang Tianba will take over the matter of arresting and arresting the robbers. Tell them, the emperor has something to say, to arrest gangsters and gangsters, they will be rewarded according to field military merits. You can count on it. As far as this is concerned, you go to a meeting with them."

Liu Yong got up to leave immediately after receiving the instruction, and Yin Jishan also got up and said to Hong Zhou and Ji Yun, "I cross the river today and set off for Xi'an, so I'll leave it at this time. Your Majesty said goodbye yesterday, and the Lord Long Live said that there are things I need by my side." There are not many people, and there are too many chores in Yanqing. Seeing that everyone can't share the work, he doesn't want to take time off. Don't overburden Liu Yong's errands. Mr. Ji is generous and humorous. Apart from official duties, we need to take care of him from top to bottom. We correspond more. I have many things to bear for my master." Ji Yun walked out with him, and said with a smile: "Why do you need to order these? You have been in Jiangnan for a long time, and the mutton steamed buns in Xi'an may not be able to stand it-who are you taking?"

"I'll take Yuan Mei there." Yin Jishan said, "He's a civil servant, so it's not easy for him to be placed in the governor's office. You just say hello to the official department, and just sign up to be the magistrate of Xi'an." Ji Yun said with a smile: "I know, I'm afraid I'll come You don’t even have a friend who plays the piano and chess, right?” Yin Jishan and Liu Yong sent Hong Zhou and the others to Yimen before returning, Liu Yong went to the North Study, and Yin Jishan prepared his own luggage to invite Yuan Mei to go with him. The two rushed to Mochou Lake in a sedan chair, and it was the Chen Pai when they arrived.The Xinggong is under the Pilu courtyard, and it was built in the 23rd year of Kangxi.Kangxi never lived here during his six southern tours, because he was afraid that the flood of the Yangtze River would burst and flood this low-lying place.Since Li Wei became governor, the embankment of the river has been heightened and strengthened, and the large stones are connected with the stone city.In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign, the rare cauliflower flood was more than ten feet away from the top of the embankment, so it could be said to be foolproof.Qianlong loved the scenery here. He leaned on the temple to hear the evening drums and morning bells, and went down to Mochou Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Because he lived here, the red walls, yellow tiles and red tiles were surrounded by century-old pines, green bamboos and willows. Spring garden seems.It's just that the emperor, empress, and empress are staying here, and the customs are forbidden. Mochou Lake, yellow reeds, white grasses, lotuses, and clear ripples are still there. Without the decoration of tourists and boats, the huge lake is lonely and chilling without a single sailboat. The pavilion is lonely and sparse, a little less charming. There were a lot of officials waiting to be interviewed at the gate of the palace, almost all of them knew Ji Yun, seeing him coming, a few senior officials just stood and stared at him from a distance, the governors of several provinces in Shandong, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi rushed up to say hello.Ji Yun smiled and said: "You guys, this time I bought the basket and returned the beads. This is Prince He! Are you drunk from the noodle soup?" Several people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Hongzhou to apologize.Hong Zhou smiled and said: "I don't wear the clothes of the princes, so I don't blame you bastards! You don't know after Ji Yun scolded me badly. Back then, Su Wunu was beautiful, and people gave her husband alcohol, and she couldn't get drunk. The man said, "It's useless to drink wine, take more money, and drink noodle soup can also make me drunk"-this is called "drinking rough and getting drunk. Idiom, do you know?" Several governors laughed when he said it, but Hong Zhou said He smiled and waved to a fifth-rank official standing by the colorful gate, and said, "Isn't this Duan Shide from Guide County? Well, the fifth-rank official has become a majestic fifth-rank official, and I can't recognize the fifth prince!" ?” "Yes, the lowly position is Duan Shide." The fifth-rank official trotted over, kowtowed and greeted with a smile, "I recognized the prince as soon as he got off the sedan chair. Our officials are too young to come forward to greet the prince. Thanks to the prince, This year, there is a vacancy in Xinyang Mansion, and they were selected as 'talented and excellent' in the low-ranking examination..." Hong Zhou laughed and said, "The few crickets you got for me, the iron head and the back sound like King Ga, great! Even ten times The 'Invincible General' of Sanbeile is said to have bitten off their thighs. Let me tell you first, your promotion has nothing to do with me. Then get me some quails, Xinyang Mansion quails are fun." Duan Shide smiled all over his face, Said: "This is easy to handle. I will ask the boys to buy it when I go back. Don't worry, the prince will not disturb the people. This is the selfish intention of the lowly position. Who told me that I am a slave under the prince's banner!" Hong Zhou shook his head and said: " Quail eggs in spring are called 'Chuncao', they are the softest eggs, and in autumn they are called 'Qiubai', nothing else. Quail eggs in winter are called 'Winter Heroes' when they are warmed up. Bring it into the crowd and teach it not to be afraid of people and not timid. If it is too thin and boring and too fat, it will be raised so that when the male quail crows, it will spread its wings and stretch its neck. It will fight with red eyes. That is the best winter hero..." He was talking about hand-to-hand ratios, and Bu Yi trotted out from the Yimen, greeted Qian'er, panting slightly, and said, "Long live Lord is in Changchun Xuan, and I heard that the fifth prince handed over a sign, called He Ji Zhongtang." Let's go in together!" Hong Zhou smacked his lips in excitement, and said to Ji Yun, "Xiaolan, let's go in." There are no corridors in the palace, and the palaces and pavilions of various sizes are all built according to the pattern of Suzhou gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. All the way along the lake, Zhulan long pavilions are connected, and the long boards are connected, so you can sit at any time.Bu Yi led the two of them on a zigzag way, and pointed to the main hall "Risheng Hall", where the emperor received ministers; the "Yueheng Hall" on the left was the queen's residence; the "Xinggong Courtyard" on the right, It is the noble lord of Nala, the concubine of Chen, the family of He, the family of Wei, the family of Yanhong Yingying, who lives in the house; the Xinggong courtyard is still called the Palace of Compassion to the west, and it is the residence of the queen mother... After saying that, the king came out with a shameful smile, and said, "this corridor. The water-pressing pavilion to the west was built in imitation of Prince Lao Lian's study in Beijing, where the emperor reviews papers and meets people every day, and it's called 'Changchun Pavilion'." While talking, Wang Sha came to him, and said in a hurry: " The two lords go in quietly, the queen is playing the piano in the hall, and the emperor is reciting poems there..." The two of them regained their concentration, and they heard the sound of the piano ding dong clear and clear as they passed by the water. A young official of 18 years old, described as lonely, thin and pale, wearing a sixth-grade top.Seeing Hong Zhou staring at him, Ji Yun whispered: "Dou Guangnai. At the age of 22, he was a first-class Jinshi, and he was selected as a scholar of the Imperial Academy. Now I am walking with me on the Sikuquanshu. The first impeachment of Gao Heng He wrote the booklet." Hong Zhou nodded without saying a word, and listened to the twittering of the piano and Qianlong chanted: Grass roots and bark, the poor people's disaster prevention plan.Dare to believe in the relief week, so nothing happened.Hereby accept the appeasement, Godsend of disaster relief.Control the fern and chat at the mouth of the lake, and get rice by surprise.Grind the flour and mix it with chestnuts, cook it to satisfy your hunger.There are more than a thousand stones, not village dwellings.The county magistrate distributed it to the people, and there was a lot of relief.And present its rice sample, try it yourself when cooking.Sigh, my people eat here, and I cry first when I eat.The virtues of the world are good, and I feel ashamed, so ashamed that I can't bear to be called auspicious.Mail it to all the princes, so that everyone knows this taste... Generation after generation should be known forever, love the people and know the ambition... Ji Yun listened, this poem is said in a gentle way, it is not a good work anyway, but when Qianlong recited every sentence, his sadness and pity were beyond words, especially the sentence "I will cry before I eat", my heart trembled. Feeling so emotional, Ji Yun and Hong Zhou both felt sore and cold when they heard it, tears were about to fall from their eyes.In the midst of desolation, Qianlong said in the hall: "All three of you come in." So Hong Zhou led the way, followed by Ji Yun and Dou Guangnai. It was the first time for Dou Guangnai to get so close to Qianlong. Normally, officials like this would prostrate on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, not daring to show their breath, but he kowtowed respectfully and then stood up on his knees. Qianlong sat cross-legged on a large and wide wooden couch by the door, and on the couch was a low table with files.There are piles of documents and memorials, and there are a few small yellow cloth bags, which are only the size of sealed letters. There is also a large plate with a deep mouth and a wide rim in the middle. The black rice inside is cooked and eaten. There is still a little half left, still steaming slightly.But the queen was not in the outer hall. When Dou Guangnai looked carefully at the bright yellow gauze curtain wall to the north of the wooden couch, there was a slight breeze blowing, and then he realized that the queen was in the inner room just a veil away. Seeing his thin body, Qianlong knelt in front of him without any shame, and thought to himself: "This man is as bold as a fight." But he ignored him first, and said to Hongzhou: "It's such a long way, it's hard to do anything." You kept coming all the way, and you didn’t stay at the post house, making people worry all day long. Brother, how long will it take for you to change your unrestrained temperament?” Then he moved down from the kang, helped Hong Zhou up personally, and said to Ji Yun: "You also get up and sit down." But he ignored Dou Guangnai, and ordered Wang Shu: "Give you tea, Fifth Prince and Master Ji!" As if he couldn't see enough, he just looked at Hong Zhou up and down, and said, "It seems to be a little thinner, But he looks fine." "The emperor's complexion is not as good as my ministers think." Hong Zhou took the tea without drinking, put it gently on the table, and stared at Qianlong with a brotherly expression, "I am a headless god, and the post house is too noisy and lively. Official hands-on books refer to talking, it’s all bullshit. I’m really impatient to listen to it. Going to live in a thousand shops and listening to villains discussing money and food, commenting on the loyalty of courtiers, talking about housework or even listening to shrews knocking pots and swearing in the street, I think it’s better than being in Welcoming you in the post house and sending you to listen to An, please tell me that it's useful to welcome the officials." What he said made everyone laugh, even Dou Guangnai, who was full of sternness, couldn't help but smile. Qianlong smiled for a while, then returned to normal, pointed to the plate of black rice, and said: "This is the ration of the people in Tangjiashan, Taihu County, Anhui Province, and it was sent by Dou Guangnai. Today I see Guangnai alone, and I also want to talk about it. Not only I, empress, except for the empress dowager Lafayette, all concubines will eat a plate each! I and the empress will have two servings, the empress is weak, and I will eat for her, and I haven't finished eating yet... Black rice is also served for lunch, I will forever remember the musty smell of this rice..." He said with a deep sigh, "Those yellow bags are also black rice, which was distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the kings Baylor, watch them finish eating it!" He said, several times People have heard the queen sobbing faintly in the room. "The emperor's heart is the heart of Yao and Shun." Ji Yun's nose was sour when he heard it, and he was already crying. He knelt down and said, "Taihu County is a land of fish and rice, and even the people suffer from hunger. This is the prime minister's fault. I beg the emperor Give the rest of the rice to Chen, after you finish eating it, your majesty, you don't have to eat it yourself..." After saying that, he paused, took a few steps on his knees, picked up the wide-sided plate, stuffed it into his mouth with his hands, and wept while chewing. Pick up one by one and finish eating it.Dou Guangnai knelt up straight, with tears streaming down his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was summoned to see you, and I was originally preparing to bear the emperor's thunderous wrath. The emperor's compassion for the people is burned in the sky. I really feel ashamed in my heart! 'I wish the king's heart will turn into a bright candle, not to illuminate Luo Qiting, but to illuminate the dilapidated house'. With this heart, there is nothing that cannot be cured in the world!" Hong Zhou also had a heavy heart, nodded and said: "I've been in Neihuang, and there are people in Neihuang who eat Guanyin soil—of course, there are not many. But I think that the small number should not be ignored." "The food is distributed to the common people only after it becomes moldy and black, and the magistrates must be held accountable for their negligence!" Ji Yun was used to eating meat, and most of the moldy rice would go down for five days, so he said bitterly: "For a rich and heartless evil gentry, I want to be listed. Show the four villages to humiliate them!" Qianlong nodded after hearing this, and said: "Dou Guangnai, I have read your palace examination policy theory. The knowledge is very good, and the handwriting is also good, but it is a bit stiff. I didn't enter the Sanyuan Chuanlu, and the speech seemed fierce and lacked grace. You are still very young, I have high hopes for you, stop walking on the Siku, go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do business, and specialize in folk collection. I didn’t ask you to come in because you saw me eat black rice. I'll give you the right to play the secret booklet, and take a look at the ruined house for me." Wang Sha listened, and took out a small Ming yellow wooden box inlaid with gold-plated pages from the top shelf of the big top cabinet, and handed it over. He gave it to Dou Guangnai, and said, "Keep this golden key, Mr. Dou, and keep the other one with the master and son. If there are any memorials, they will not be handed over to the military plane office, but sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and submitted directly to the emperor. The secret papers must be written and approved by themselves. Zhu Zhu will return it to the Imperial History Office for archiving after reading it. Please remember it, sir.” "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dou Guangnai put the box on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and said, "I still have something to say. Gao Heng Qian Du is a coward, greedy for reading and accepting bribes without any scruples. I beg the emperor to issue a clear edict as soon as possible and hand it over to the Secretary for further review." Qiao, with the official seal, show the world the heart of the most public and the most enlightened!" Qianlong nodded with a smile, and said: "I have already read your papers in Yangzhou. Don't worry, we have to find out the case and deal with it. There are other things to be discussed today, so please kneel down. What's the matter?" Tiao Chen just writes the excerpts and plays them, I have my own tune." Dou Guangnai bowed and retreated out of the box like a baby in a swaddle.Qianlong looked at his back and said: "This is a simple and straightforward man. Battelle told me that every morning before dawn, he would go to the palace to pay respects. I thought he was a little hypocritical, but it seems that he is not, because he is a bit circuitous. , don't sharpen his edges and corners, so that he can be cultivated, this is another Sun Jiagan Shi Yizhi!" Ji Yun conjectured that Hong Zhou's visit to Nanjing was definitely not just to send a cloud, but there must be something secret about him. The matter of Chongzhen's jade certificate was played, and he said in a deep voice: "Liu Yong interrogated Zhang, and the minister met this man at the side. He was an old man in his seventies. He was not the same age as Chongzhen's son anyway. Some folks I like to collect lonely and miscellaneous books, regardless of good or bad. In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng smashed the Forbidden City in Beijing to pieces, and some documents, calligraphy and paintings were lost. Involved with gangsters such as Yi Ying and others, in my opinion, it seems that we should not deal with the case in reverse, so as not to cause shock." "I don't think this matter is as common as you said." Qianlong was probably tired, with a pale and weary face, sipping tea lightly and said: "In the past ten days or so, apart from reviewing papers and meeting people, the General Bureau of Jiangnan Books and Interviews has checked I also browsed a few banned books that I borrowed at random. Some books say that monsters say evil, I don’t mind, and some books are shocking to read. Have you read "Xian Xian Lu" written by Huating Juren Cai Xian? His "Ode to the World" "Purple Peony" has a sentence saying that "to win Zhu Fei's true colors, all other species will become kings", and Dai Mingshi is called a peerless "excellent talent". The Nanming Tang king fled to Fujian, and the chronicles in the book use the Yongle year name! Seeing the court is nothing more than a mere scholar , presumptuously compiled the "New Three-Character Classic", saying that in the Yuan Dynasty, "the hair was left, the clothes were changed, it was difficult for Huaxia, and the monks everywhere" Wu Sangui descended to my Qing Dynasty and said that it was "Wu Sangui, begging for the master", and an old survivor found three Wu Sangui’s appeal to the army during the feudal rebellion, the Zhu’s Jade Card that Mr. Zhang’s family had hidden, maybe it’s not just a collection, right?” Ji Yun has never read any of these books. Because of Qianlong's original intention, he will not pursue any taboos in collecting books regardless of categories, which will help the people to actively donate books.Qianlong's statement is completely different from the previous purpose. It is necessary to investigate the paradoxical and arrogant words of the family of book collectors against the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty and the distinction between Hua and Barbarians.In this way, not only is it contrary to the previous order, but the crime must be punished by torture according to the "big treason" law. Who dares to offer a book?He murmured for a while, and summoned up his courage to say: "Too many books have been collected, and now not only the Wenhua Hall, but also the Wuying Hall are almost full. Some books were written by former Ming Dynasty veterans, and there are indeed disrespectful words in this dynasty. Some ignorant people in the mountains and fields donate their books without knowing the history and current affairs in order to invite good local officials. Of course, there are some people who are arrogant and rebellious, but there are also unintentional faults. He thought for a while and added, "Yi Ying's case has caused disasters one after another, disrupting several provinces, openly raising flags and gathering crowds to resist the conquest of heavenly soldiers, the emperor has the virtue of being born like heaven, and he has the purpose of merciful life, and he will not Poor party members. In comparison, it seems inappropriate to pursue people who collect false books." "Of course it's different." Qianlong said, "Governing the world and pacifying the world are based on attacking the heart, followed by governance. People who believe in the Bailian Hongyang Sect, even Yi Ying, are forced to take risks, ignorant and ignorant. All living beings are naturally sympathetic. These people should be looked at highly. They have pens in their hands and knowledge and strategies in their hearts. Those who eat hair and practice soil should also be grateful for the kindness of their fathers. They have no fathers and no kings. They wish the world would be in chaos soon How can it be regarded as the same?" He flipped through the files on the table, took out a book and handed it to Ji Yun, and said, "You Ji Xiaolan is a man with a lot of books, have you read this wonderful book?" Hong Zhou was curious, and Zhi Yi with the fan handle leaned over to look at Ji Yun, and saw a new book bound in white letters on a blue background, which read: Poetry banknotes Then he asked, "This name is so strange: who is Jian Mosheng?" Ji Yun said: "This is from the "Analects of Confucius Yang Huo" chapter 'Isn't it hard? Grinding without phosphorus' means that hard things can't be grinded. Thin, can withstand tossing - this must be a poem written by a restless person." "My fifth brother and I have seen this man before." Qianlong sneered, glanced at the book, and said, "His name is Hu Zhongzao, a cabinet bachelor, he was a student in Shaanxi and Guangxi, and the famous Hanlin is dead. The disciple of Ertai, in the poem, he called himself "the first gate of Xilin", arrogant and conceited, he has no ruler, he can do all kinds of things like forming a clique for private interests, and he is not only restless!" Ji Yun was startled suddenly: If he confronted the emperor again, it would not be "confused", but to protect the person who made the "rebellious book".His official charter is "smooth", and he will change when the emperor changes. This is called "good remonstrance".An emperor like Qianlong, who is so knowledgeable, rich and talented, looks like a humble, elegant and romantic scholar on the outside, but his conceit and rigidity in his heart are actually far stronger than that of his father Yongzheng. , maybe the Daxing Literary Inquisition will be intensified under the rage, and it will be even more painful. Thinking about it, Ji Yun sighed, and said: "The emperor is wise and far-sighted. I am too rigid, and I like to see people's thinking from the small and inconspicuous words and sentences. Hu Zhongzaochen also met once, and it was still in the Imperial Academy. This man is full of talent, but he speaks and behaves grandly——he looks like this—" Ji Yun smiled, imitating Hu Zhongzao with withered brows, rolling eyes and squinting, as if turning others upside down, which amused Qianlong He and Hong Zhou both laughed. "That's how he behaves." Ji Yun still had a smile on his face, and his tone became serious, "He wrote a poem 'Nandou sent me south, Beigong sent me north, and the middle of the south and the north can't be wide "I also asked him what he meant when he said that the unified world is divided into north and south. He said, 'Shi Wu Dayou' You don't even understand this. The words are false, the arguments are out-of-the-way but firm, that's why Confucius punished Shao Zhengmao. Master The superior will not wrong him!" As he spoke, he flipped through it casually, trying to find out the words that violated the words to cater to Qianlong. But as soon as he flipped through the book, he immediately understood that there was no need to brag about it by himself. The book was dotted with red lines and smudges everywhere, such as "Although the north wind is good, it's hard to use, so what?" Want to be barbaric"..."Compete with the rest of the world in ugly barbarians"-"The old Buddha is not sick now, and he can't open his mouth when he hears about it"...There are Zhu criticisms everywhere, bloody and wild, and the imperial pen is like "Desperate to be so mad"! "Bastard!" "My resentment is the same as my hatred for me"... There are also some irony, "This is a good courtier, you can't say this unless you are a 'loyal minister'" "Okay, well written, it hurts to scold! "... Qianlong's gnashing of teeth and resentment vividly appeared on the paper when he grabbed the pen.Looking at these words, Ji Yun felt dizzy for a while, his face was pale, and his hands trembled slightly, but he was a very sophisticated person after all, and said in a trembling voice: "This... this... is really an owl! Holy, and the slander is imposed on the emperor! This can be overwhelmed and tolerated, this can be overwhelmed and tolerated?!" His own panic and fear were concealed in the unexpected surprise and shock of Hu Zhongzao's "rebellion" . Hong Zhou took out the book and flipped through it, but he was not as panic-stricken as Ji Yun, with self-doubt and insecurity, and said in a deep thought: "It seems that you can't always be soft-hearted in writing, and being soft-hearted is indulgence. The emperor is wise. Even if you don't deal with it, there is no hindrance. The fallacies will be spread to future generations. It may not be possible to keep the Qing Dynasty like the emperor. If they talk nonsense about the distinction between Huayi and North and South, it will be no small matter if there is trouble. Trouble!" He put the book back on the table and kept saying, "So in the heyday, such books have to be copied, burned, and such people have to be killed. The people in the Ministry of Rites really don't know what to eat. I haven't seen a book that says such a thing!" "Have you heard Xiaolan? This is farsightedness, and this is the real silence of seeking the country!" Qianlong calmed down a little, took a big sip of tea and smiled: "When the first emperor was here, he said that the fifth child is a crouching tiger. He doesn't care about trivial matters, and he is meticulous in killing and decisive when it comes to important matters of the king and the country." Hong Zhou hurriedly said with a smile: "How can I have such a great ability, I have been studying in the emperor's study since I was a child. Hearing the emperor's lectures, he said that Shi had some insights, and he didn't hold anything back. But he might be better at playing cricket and quail fighting, but he is still an absurd prince--there is another saying that the ministers also want to play, burn, Copying and killing are necessary, and it should not be too loud. Your Majesty, the rule of Qianlong has only been seen since Tang Yao, and it is far superior to the rule of Zhenguan. I don’t know if the emperor remembers the night when he ascended to the pole. Admonishment?" Qianlong was startled for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Behind the veil is the queen, and Xiaolan is the minister of military affairs. I want to know if you remember." Hong Zhou also smiled, and said: "I don't dare to forget it for a moment. The emperor said three things. The first one is to be a benevolent emperor like the ancestors. Since the creation of the most prosperous world since the founding, follow the heaven and respect the ancestors. If you can enjoy the old age, To be able to achieve sixty years of Qianlong's prosperity and rule, one's heart is satisfied, and martial arts and martial arts must surpass the previous life; When it comes to the ministers, the ministers dare not repeat them. In short, they obey the sacred teachings, dare not go beyond the etiquette, and do not indulge in obscenity because of the emperor's iron scroll. The emperor said that Li Shimin is the hero of the ages, Xuanwu It is a pity that Brother Tu proclaims himself emperor after a family change, the emperor does not learn from his patience and cruelty, and wants to rule the world with benevolence and filial piety." Only then did Ji Yun know that on the night of Qianlong's ascension to the throne in the first year of Qianlong, the two brothers still had such a deep talk, in which he could listen to the words of "the difference between Manchu and Han", which shows that Qianlong's trust in his family is still higher than that of Liu Tongxun. My uneasy heart suddenly eased.Hong Zhou was also overwhelmed with emotion, and sighed with a smile: "Privately, my ministers often compare the emperor with Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and the holy ancestors. During the reign of Zhenguan, only twenty-nine death row prisoners were executed a year. Except for this one, the emperor is everywhere. He is better than him. Zhu Yuanzhang’s Hongwu rule, tortured and corrected officials, and corrupt officials all over the world trembled when they heard the news. Today’s officials are not as good as Hongwu years, but the people’s country is rich and prosperous, and the emperor’s good minister Jiji Mingtang, the emperor is a big brother! He is—” He compared Little finger, "It's not the same. Sheng Ren, Wen Wu, and Mo Lie can be regarded as an emperor through the ages, but not long after the founding of the country, it was followed by the mess of the former Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng, and the chaos of the San Francisco in the middle. If you talk about the prosperity of the world Xihe, the rule of the emperor has far surpassed that of the ancestors. This is the result of the painstaking efforts of "government with leniency". It is not easy for you, the emperor. Although brothers don't care about things, I applaud you in my heart!" "Brother, you are speaking the truth." Qianlong said, "Except for you, no one can and dares to compare me with the sages. You don't need to go on, I already understand what you mean. Except I will not pursue those who slander the great government of this dynasty, those who are anti-Qing and think wise, and those who harbor evil intentions and disrupt the government. People like Hu Zhongzao are not involved in big prisons. Except for banning and destroying novels by barnyard officials, they do not do human affairs Implications——Zhu Yuanzhang is a mud-footed pole, and there are no heroes in the world, so Zhuzi became famous. A literary prison often kills thousands of people, and the hostility is also a disaster for future generations. It's Hu Zhongzao, you didn't read Zhu's comments carefully in the book, and you slandered me It’s only when he is barking—yes, it’s Jie Dog barking Yao—the dog’s barking is nothing to worry about. Except for those who are directly involved, it’s not a big deal. But if you don’t use a knife to kill the wind, let them spread rumors If there is trouble, they will think that I am Song Renzong and Song Xianggong, and it will not work! You have all explained it thoroughly—Xiaolan, just discuss politics according to this, Mr. Zhang, and cases like Hu Zhongzao. Draft the decree, consider and deal with it one by one!" Since Confucius punished Shaozhengmao, "The Spring and Autumn Period caused chaos and thieves to fear", there have been all dynasties since the Qin and Han Dynasties.Ji Yun is familiar with the scriptures and history, of course he knows.He is also deeply worried that some literati are ignorant, write articles and poems to slander the government, or even hate the Qing Dynasty.After Zhang Tingyu, he was already the head of civil servants, and he felt that he had the responsibility to protect the civil servants.One is afraid that the rise of a literary inquisition will implicate the major events, and the other is that the officials below will follow the holy will without reason and make everyone feel at risk. It refers to "extreme rebellion and arrogance." The emperor himself boasted, how dare he admonish him directly, it is really not easy to do it without getting involved.At that moment, I had no choice but to accept Yan Shunzhi, and said with a smile: "I will leave, go back and read the original case carefully, and draft it to submit to the imperial court for revision." After speaking, she got up, but saw Qin Meimei stepping out from behind the gauze screen, whispering in front of Qianlong's eyes A few words.Qianlong's expression changed, and he hurried inside.Ji Yun didn't dare to leave, and Qianlong asked softly, "How are you? Xiaolan is here, I want him to come in and check your pulse, okay?" The queen's voice was very weak, and she said a few words intermittently, and Qianlong smiled and comforted her, "Xiaolan is busy, so it doesn't take much to think about it. Since you trust Ye Tianshi, it's okay to call in for you to have a look..." It was only then that Hong Zhou and Ji Yun found out that Empress Fucha was sick on the couch, and that Qianlong was here to guard and take care of important military and state affairs at the same time. This kind of friendship between husband and wife, not to mention the emperor, is rarely seen among ordinary officials, and the two of them felt deeply. , were all moved to a little pale.For a while, I heard rustling, as if Qianlong was covering the quilt for her, and then he came out and said to Ji Yun: "You go to see Liu Tongxun, Ye Tianshi showed him, and ask him how he is in medicine. Ask to come in and show the queen's pulse." Ji Yun repeatedly kowtowed in agreement and withdrew. "Old Five, I have read the special book you wrote." Qianlong said: "Sha Luoben's wife can't rush to meet now, lest Fu Heng's heart will be disturbed. Looking at the tomb of Queen Su Nu in Dezhou Yun, I suffered from a bit of wind and cold, and my body was still hot, and she knew all the troubles in the palace) and I was a little anxious to get angry- let's not talk about business, come in and see your sister-in-law! " "Yes!" Hongzhou hurriedly bowed and followed Qianlong into the inner room
